Stealing the Preacher by Karen Witemeyer

A cowboy who wants to be a preacher. An outlaw’s daughter who wants to change his mind.
On his way to interview for a position at a church in the Piney Woods
of Texas, Crockett Archer can’t believe it when he’s forced off the
train by an outlaw and presented to the man’s daughter as the preacher
she requested for her birthday. He’s determined to escape–which would be
much easier if he could stop thinking about Joanna Robbins and her
unexpected request.
For months, Joanna had prayed for a minister. A man to breathe life
back into the abandoned church at the heart of her community. A man to
assist her in fulfilling a promise to her dying mother. But just when it
seems her prayers have been answered, it turns out the parson is there
against his will and has dreams of his own calling him elsewhere. Is
there any way she can convince Crockett he ended up right where he was
supposed to be?With her signature blend of humor, history, and lively western
romance, two-time RITA Award finalist and bestselling author Karen

My Take:

What a fun and entertaining book from the very beginning. Because Joanna wanted a preacher for the old abandoned church, Her father goes out and steals her one. Because of the delay Crockett misses his chance to be the pastor at the church he was headed for but could it be that he is right where he is meant to be? You will have to read the book to find out what happens but I would bet that you won't be disappointed in this book.

I received a review copy of this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest opinion.

Book Review or Book Spotlight, What's the dif?

I have been posting something I have been calling a Book Spotlight. How is this different from a review? A Review is when I have read the book either entirely or mostly and I feel that I can write an opinion on the book based on my experience with the book. I either have a physical copy of the book or audio or e-book. A Spotlight is when I haven't actually read the book but I want to bring attention to it so others are aware of it. I sometimes have a copy of the book but just haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I may just like the author and intend on getting a copy of the book soon. Most spotlights include a summary taken from Amazon.com or Goodreads.com.
